Aspen Dental - Gainesville, FL - Gainesville Christina Norvell: II recently visited Aspen Dental and had an absolutely fantastic experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and genuine friendliness from the staff.
They took the time to explain everything. Not only was the service exceptional, but the positive atmosphere created by the staff made my visit even more enjoyable. It’s refreshing to see a team that works so well together and genuinely cares about its customers.
I highly recommend Aspen Dental to anyone looking for a welcoming environment and outstanding.
Gentle Dental Care - Gainesville camille scohier: You simply cannot go wrong with choosing Gentle Dental Care! The entire staff is professional, friendly, caring and extremely experienced! I went last year for the first time and wish I had known about this wonderful company earlier in my life. I actually enjoy going to the dentist now!
Family & Cosmetic Dentistry - Gainesville Powers Tony (FireUpChips): I ended up going to Dr. Hughes because Santa Fe Family Dental was no longer in my network. While I will say he seems like an amazing person, I think the difference from being an “ok” doctor to a “great” dr are the intangibles and empathy. You need to be able to put yourselves in your patients shoes. I just don’t feel the same comfort one should feel at the Dentist. Also, I have really good insurance. Why is a cleaning over $115 dollars?! Oh not to mention, I told him during the cleaning it was painful and he told me maybe my last dentist wasn’t cleaning my teeth correctly. Like I said, nice guy but don’t have the qualities to be a good dr. You run that place like a cat shop, where it should be looked at with more care and concern. I still respect you, but not for me. $120 for a cleaning is crazy. That is considered preventive and I don’t pay for preventive procedures (even if it’s under the gums) every dentist I been to always numbs when you clean under the gums. ALWAYS. I can’t believe I almost allowed your team to do that. Horrible experience. Can’t recommend.
Coast Dental - Gainesville Jorge Cabrera: I had a very similar experience to what Anna M mentioned in a previous review. I have never experienced the amount of waiting and forepayment needed until I visited this practice. Causing important time disruption and prolonged physical discomfort. Im willing to discuss with anyone in this company who ever picks up the phone, which in my experience is only answered for appointment scheduling.
They do charge a $100 fee upfront to enter you into their system even if you took 10 minutes the day before to fill out their form, but that was just one of the surprises on that first visit. They will also charge you upfront for future procedures. The office tends to smell like cigarettes and some of the equipment has visible rust on it. They only have one doctor seeing other 5 people while you wait and the anesthesia wears out. Every step of the process takes extremely long, except for billing.
I decided not to go back after I went to have a fair amount of adjustments from a previous visit where the doctor started to get frustrated because he was overbooked. Im glad they only touched one half of my mouth because it took weeks to get the adjustments done while I was painfully trying not to chew on the one side they worked on. Im still waiting for reimbursement for the other half I had paid for upfront.
At this point Im taking them to the Alachua Small Claims court for a reimbursement they said it could take up to 12 weeks, and here we are 24+ weeks later and no response, passing the ball from office to office, department to department and no mythical regional manager has ever contacted me like their customer service reps said they would. Theres an obvious disconnect between their customer service and the office. Messages are never passed down and no one assumes responsibility, but somehow, I still get calls about appointments that I never scheduled.
Coast Dental - Gainesville `: Prescribed me some special deep cleaning and refused to complete the regular basic cleaning that insurance would pay for. The doctor zooms in which is last thing I want for a dentist. Also, while waiting, I overheard the manager being told in a meeting to basically squeeze every penny out of patients and if they become difficult and dont want to pay extra fees imposed on them let them go. Although they are probably technically are not breaking any laws, the whole thing totally feels like a scam. Taking my business elsewhere, and regret not reading other peoples reviews.
Yvette Godet, D.M.D. - Gainesville Sarah Carey: What a wonderful experience I had today as a first-time patient and visitor to Dr. Godets warm and wonderful office. I was impressed by the professional and welcoming staff and by Dr. Godets knowledge and patience as she went over all of her findings with me. I had to wait a bit to get an initial appointment, but it was worth the wait. The office has a great ambiance and the team seems to work harmoniously. I have a treatment plan I understand and will soon embark upon, and am so grateful for the recommendations I received about this practice. A++
Delmond Dentistry - Gainesville Sage Jennings: They make going to the dentist as pleasant as it can be! The entire staff is extremely competent and friendly. Kim cleans my teeth with attention to detail and keeps an eye out for any potential issues for Delmond to focus on. Delmond is honest and good at explaining technical jargon to a lay person. Highly recommended (from someone that is rarely compelled to leave reviews).
Van Dyke General and Implant Dentistry - Gainesville Robert Mermer: Here is why should choose Van Dyke Dentistry. Specifically, why you should choose to accept dental care from Dr. Tyler Smayda and talk to Ms. Gloria to start your treatment program.
1) He communicates well. Hes a busy guy, as are all dentists. But if you have severe dental anxiety and need to talk through your expectations, concerns, and/or desires, you can simply say "I have a question about moving forward" or something similar. If you do that, he will stop whatever it is hes doing and converse with you. This will, in my experience, substantially decrease dental anxiety.
NOTE: You may not get the answer you want. But he will talk to you as a peer, not a nameless mouth-cadaver.
The takeaway: Dr. Smayda recognizes you as a human being who deserves to take an active part in your treatment. Hes the expert, but he will accommodate your needs.
2) Every hygienist and technician has the perfect bedside manner for those of us with dental anxiety. I REALLY needed my partner to come into the treatment room to relax me, and I knew it might get in their way.
Did they say no? No. They did not.
Did they express their frustration that I was asking to allow a non-patient, non-professional into the treatment room? No. They did not.
Did they welcome my partner into the room to calm me down AND ask if it was OK if they asked him to leave? Yes. They did. I feel awful that I made the hygienists job more difficult. But they made it seem like it was nothing. . . They put me before their own workflow (again, sorry about that!).
3) Gloria. Oh, sweet Gloria, the receptionist/office magician/gods gift to those of us lucky enough to have a dental PPO. She patiently talked me through the accommodations I need as a hard-of-hearing, extremely anxious (about dental work), needy patient. . . And she ensured all of my accommodations were met.
I hadnt successfully completed a dental visit from 2019 through 2025 because of my dental anxiety and the inability of clinics to accommodate my anxiety. Now, Im willing to go in ONCE A WEEK!
Gloria and Dr. Tyler Smayda changed that.
If theyre still accepting new patients, I urge you to get an appointment now.
Tioga Dental & Orthodontics at Tioga Town Center - Newberry Christine Ledger: This was my first visit to Tioga Dental. It was a very pleasant experience! Emily was amazing, very gentle and thorough w xrays and cleaning. Dr. Potter was very informative w options for a future procedure and answered all questions for me. Everything was immaculate and I was made to feel very comfortable. Highly recommend!
